An "Action" within Automations refers to a specific operation or task that is executed automatically as part of a predefined Automation workflow. Actions are triggered based on certain Conditions, variables, or events, allowing you to streamline and automate routine tasks.

Automated actions in Optix include:

  • Creating a Task

  • Sending a Message to a User/Team

  • Sending an Email to a User/Team

  • Changing a User's Account type

  • Changing a User's Account status (Automations+ only)

  • Posting to the Community feed

  • Add invoice item (Automations+ only)

  • Add allowance (Automations+ only)

  • Add to group conversation

  • Change primary location

  • Send doc to sign

  • Update custom property

These Actions enable you to automate and simplify your workflow, ensuring that critical tasks are completed without manual intervention. You will be emailed when you reach your Action limit and are also able to see this at any time in your dashboard under your Optix subscription.
